The Met Office has issued a yellow weather warning for rain from midnight on Sunday until 11pm on Monday. That means there is the risk of localised flooding and surface water on the roads leading to difficult road conditions.

It's due to a band of heavy rain, accompanied by strong northeasterly winds, affecting the south and south-east through Sunday night and at times during Monday.

The heaviest of the rain will clear from the south-east during the morning, but further heavy, slow moving and potentially thundery showers are likely to occur.

The wet weather that left many people spending Bank Holiday Monday indoors is set to ease ahead of the weekend - and despite the prospect of more rain on the horizon, especially in, the South East, there is no suggestion that it will bring major flooding.

Rainfall will weaken over the next 36 hours, heralding a drier day for many on Friday before the sun brings warm temperatures over the weekend.

There will be a largely dry day on Friday for northern parts of the UK. Even though it is quite miserable it is quite warm outside and muggy, and today there will be highs of 16C-18C across south-east England away from the coasts. Tomorrow onwards we are looking at a general warming trend, with 19C across south-east England. But over the weekend we could see 21C-22C across the South East and a predominantly dry day on Saturday. I wouldn't rule out rain or showers, but they won't be particularly heavy.
